AFAIK, a general approach for this kind of problems is the "job execution
environment"
(Dev Guide - 4 Writing UNO Components - 4.7.2 Jobs)
In practice (and if I well understood the whole thing) you should implement
your own Job component (that must support the service com.sun.star.task.Job
or com.sun.star.task.AsyncJob)
and then you should package your component with a customized jobs.xcu file, in
order to inform the "job execution environment" of your job component
In the job.xcu file you can specify the event that will call-back your
component
Unfortunately this approach is not possible using StarBasic for obvious
reasons.

You can, but:
1) I think it will work only for OOo2.0 because AFAIK OOo1.1 doesn't store
global event bindings in the configuration registry
2) you cannot overwrite registry entries previously added or modified by the
end-user

you can assign macros to "global" events using the service:
com.sun.star.frame.GlobalEventBroadcaster"
This is an example:
REM ***** BASIC *****
Sub TestGlobalEventSupplier
Dim mEventProps(1) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
mEventProps(0).Name = "EventType"
mEventProps(0).Value = "StarBasic"
mEventProps(1).Name = "Script"
mEventProps(1).Value = "macro:///Gimmicks.Userfields.StartChangesUserfields()"
oGlobalEventBroadcaster = _
createUnoservice("com.sun.star.frame.GlobalEventBroadcaster")
oGlobalEventBroadcaster.Events.ReplaceByName("OnStartApp", mEventProps())
End Sub
You can retrieve all available event names using the method:
oGlobalEventBroadcaster.Events.getElementNames()
anyway this is the list:
OnStartApp
OnCloseApp
OnNew
OnUnload
OnPrepareUnload
OnLoad
OnSave
OnSaveAs
OnSaveDone
OnSaveAsDone
OnFocus
OnUnfocus
OnPrint
OnModifyChanged

Great!! ...and please, don't forget also a codesnippet for our repository :-)
